Chapter 1669 – The Auctioneer
*****Sage Myron and Mistress Ayra had just watched Xavier casually tell several A-rank powerhouses to come and meet him themselves if they wanted to speak with him. Now a B-rank guard was inviting him somewhere on behalf of his mistress.Surely Xavier would refuse.At least, that was what they expected.Instead, he simply nodded without the slightest hesitation. If anything, he looked as though he had been expecting this invitation all along.“Lead the way.”The guard appeared slightly surprised by how easily he agreed, but he quickly turned around and led the three of them away.A moment later, they reached the innermost section of the cruise ship and entered a grand office that was completely different from the bustling auction hall outside.The room was spacious and elegantly decorated, with an atmosphere that immediately made it clear that whoever occupied this place held considerable authority aboard the Celestial Pearl.The guard respectfully stepped aside.“Please wait here.”
Chapter 1668 – An Unexpected Invitation
*****Meanwhile, completely oblivious to everything that had happened since he left the auction hall, Xavier, Mistress Ayra, and Sage Myron followed the attendant toward the cashier's area, where he would settle the payment for everything he had won.The atmosphere along the way was noticeably different from before.Xavier could feel numerous hidden gazes following him.He could also sense the faint fluctuations of auras concealed throughout the surrounding area.He immediately understood what was happening.They were the auction guards and workers, waiting to see whether he could actually pay.If he couldn't, they would act.Xavier wasn't offended in the slightest.In fact, he found the situation almost amusing.After everything that had happened tonight, he had expected someone to question his ability to settle the bill. Considering the astronomical amount involved, it would have been stranger if nobody had been suspicious.He calmly confirmed each item he had won, carefully ensurin
Chapter 1667 – Demoness Celeste’s Decision
*****Inside one of the chambers occupied by an A-rank fighter, an oppressive silence enveloped the room.It was so tense that the subordinates standing inside barely dared to breathe.The A-rank fighter sat motionless.He said nothing, displayed no anger, and didn’t even move. Yet that silence was far more terrifying than shouting could ever have been.Cold sweat soaked the backs of the subordinates as they stood rigidly in place. Every one of them understood that their master was furious. They simply did not know what form that fury would take.No one dared to speak or offer an opinion.They could only wait.Suddenly, the A-rank fighter released a slow sigh.The sound struck the subordinates like a sledgehammer against their souls.“Since he dares to look down on us because of the measly resources he possesses,” the A-rank fighter finally murmured, his voice frighteningly emotionless, “then we can only show him our worth.”The atmosphere instantly became even colder.The man's eyes
Chapter 1666 – Disbelief and Fury
*****For a moment that seemed to stretch into eternity, the entire auction house appeared to have frozen in time and space.Hundreds of people remained completely motionless, their expressions locked somewhere between disbelief and confusion as they tried to process what Xavier had just said.They had all assumed Xavier would seize the opportunity the moment the five A-rank powers extended their invitations. After all, being openly recruited by one A-rank power wasn’t something an ordinary cultivator could even dream of experiencing in their entire lifetime, let alone five.For most people, it would have been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and missing it would be enough to make them regret the decision for the rest of their lives.The only question anyone had expected was which power Xavier would choose.No one had considered the possibility that he would reject every single one of them.And certainly no one had imagined that he would go one step further and casually tell those A-
Chapter 1665 – Rejection
***** Matthew’s face became increasingly distorted as the realization sank in.Once Xavier joined one of those sects or families, Matthew would no longer be able to touch him so easily. Killing an unaffiliated outsider was one thing. Killing someone who had become the prized recruit of an A-rank sect was an entirely different matter.The opportunity he had thought was sitting right in his hands was disappearing before his eyes.The helplessness nearly drove him mad.But what could he do?He could only watch.The other members of the Upper Realm who hadn’t considered recruiting Xavier were also left dumbfounded right now.They, too, had been blinded by rage.The realization left several people clenching their fists in regret. Some cursed themselves silently, and others immediately began reconsidering their earlier decisions and prepared to join the recruitment.If the others were willing to fight over Xavier, then they could fight too.But just as they were preparing to mak
Chapter 1664 – Matthew’s Fury
*****A moment ago, Xavier had been viewed as a troublesome outsider who had somehow managed to offend nearly everyone in the Upper Realm. Now, the same people who had been silently calculating how to deal with him were practically fighting over the privilege of taking him home.He had somehow transformed from a walking death sentence into the hottest recruit at the auction.Finally, one of the men could no longer tolerate waiting. He stepped forward and went straight to the point.“Young brother, would you be willing to join our sect? We are an A-rank sect, and we are willing to make you an inner disciple immediately. You will have access to resources that ordinary disciples can only dream about.”His straightforward approach immediately earned him several hostile glares.“Join our sect instead, young master,” another man quickly interrupted. “We are willing to pour every resource at our disposal into nurturing you. With your incredible talent and wealth, reaching the B-rank would on
